The emotional baggage of Mackas death prompted McAuley to reassess her life, and she made some important decisions and next steps. In this memoir, she narrates her personal journey, her spiritual awakening, and how she finally came to terms with her relationships with others, especially Macka, and his death. McAuley offers a look at how the turbulence and power of the rough sea guided her home and how she attained peace within her heart.
